Team for Bristol City

[Mackenzie]

1. Ankergren
2. Calderon
3. Painter
4. Bridcutt
5. Dunk
6. Greer
7. Harley
8. Hoskins
9. M-Smith
10. Buckley
11. Noone

Subs: Brezovan, Lualua, Dicker, Vicente, Vincelot



Bit harsh on Barnes, although if Hoskins isn't 100% and training well I'd put Barnes in in his place, I don't envy Gus having to keep everyone happy!

 

[Marc1901]

I'd go with that..

That may be an overly attacking team? Harley not a ball winning midfielder...seems a lot more keen to get forward. Bridcutt can't do it all on his own!

With that team City won't get a touch

If Vincelot is fit I think he'll start, his role in the wins at Portsmouth and Cardiff shouldn't be underestimated. Interesting role too, defensive midfielder sitting just behind the front 2 which stopped the opposition building anything from the back.

 

[bhamex1901]

In my opinion Dicker will play. Why not? - he has been very good so far this season.

 

[BensGrandad]

Wouldn't have thought Vincelot will be fit so would play either Hoskins or Barnes and put the other one on the bench. Would be nice to have an option to bring on a striker.

 

[Seasider78]

Given the competition for places and only 5 subs allowed we could see players like Lua Lua not even making the matchday squad!

 

[dannezz]

dicker instead of buckley is my guess, stick with the one winger for the moment, why change a winning formula.

 

[Questions]

It is getting harder to predict starting line ups now what with our squad getting so much stronger. It will depend on exactly how fit Hoskins, Buckley and Vincente are as to who plays, athough there is a strong possibility that all three could miss out for the first eleven. Subs are so important now and we will need a spare defender because I doubt if Vincelot will be ready yet.
I just wonder if Gus dare play Vincente upfront with CMS. He did intimate that he can play all over that area of the pitch. Maybe better playing safe though at his stage. Exiting stuff though no doubt. It might well be the same starting line up as the P`boro match, who knows.

In Gus we trust.

 

[Questions]

I do think that either Buckley or Vincente might be pushed inside a little at some stage of this season unless Hoskins comes in and is on fire.

 

[BensGrandad]

Hate to be pedantic but there is only 1 n in his his name it is VICENTE not as many post Vincente.

After the time Gus has spent chasing him and his raving about him I cant see him not picking Ryan Harley.

As I said I cant see Vincelot being fit for Bristol City

Fair point, sub harley for vincelot, we'll either look a bit porous or stick 7 past them.

 

[darters74]

Haven't got a clue but I am really keen to see Hoskins play, hope he's fit soon.

On the few times he has played him and CMS have linked up really well with little flicks setting each other up
